10 Gaming Sidekicks That Kicked Butt From the Backseat This Year

9. Rotom Pokedex – Pokemon Sun and Moon

The Pokedex is a vital tool in every Pokemon journey, recording your discoveries and catches along with being crammed with tons of useful information. In Pokemon Sun and Moon though, your Pokedex is powered by the Electric/Ghost type Pokemon Rotom.

The cheery little creature inhabits your machine and is able to speak to you throughout the game. He’s always got helpful hints and tips for the aspiring Pokemon trainer, and even manages to crack a joke or two. If all that isn’t enough for you, the Pokedex now works as a camera letting you take photos of certain areas out in the world Pokemon Snap style. So not only is your Pokedex highly functional, it’s a charming companion now as well.
